I hear you. I feel like I am at the same point now - recognizing the limitations of the therapeutic relationship and trying to decide how to proceed. I'm still seeing my T as frequently but I have definitely backed off emotionally from T. I don't call or email between sessions and I have reduced my expectations of how much T cares about me. I keep reminding myself that ultimately I am just another client and that if I stopped paying for therapy it would not be too long before he would stop seeing me, because ultimately this is his job. I'm actually thinking about canceling today.

So I guess my response is to distance myself and reject therapy altogether. But I also know that stopping completely would hurt me very much; that is the main reason why I've kept going. But things have definitely changed and I feel a big loss.
